WELL, the focus of ICF has never been the sale of insects,... but this is something that doesn't happen very often, my collection and cabinet are looking for a new home:
I hope that the pics will be of interest to some of the users.

Why? It looks like a lot of your heart went in to making this.

It is a great collection, but I also wonder why?

Yes a lot of heart went into it. But I know that I won't have time to maintain the collection the next few years. Therefore, I would be happy to see it in someone else's hands. I enjoyed many of the specimens and I hope others will too. Some of them, like the Philotes had been self breed.
The last two years I tried to make a startup to create entomological books. I never acquired customers (authors) and took a financial hit. I will have to work twice as hard the next years to make up for the losses. On March 1st I'll start at a new job.
I still got my net and I'll be back some time with a new collection.

The collection has found a new owner.
